Title: Application of Certain Mandatory Bars in Fear Screenings 
Abstract:

On May 13, 2024, DHS proposed a rule that would allow asylum officers (AOs) to consider the potential applicability of certain bars to asylum and statutory withholding of removal during certain fear screenings. Specifically, under this proposed rule, AOs would be authorized to consider certain bars during credible and reasonable fear screenings, including credible fear screenings where the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways (CLP) rule applies. The proposed rule intended to enhance operational flexibility and help DHS more swiftly remove certain aliens who are barred from asylum and statutory withholding of removal. After careful consideration of the public comments, DHS issued a final rule on December 18, 2024 (89 FR 103370).
